[Plugin] Lattice Maker
-
TIG,
I ran into a little problem while installing this. it occurs that the zip file contains a folder named TIGtools, the same name of a folder that is part of your extrusion set of tools. thus when I try to put it in my plugins folder I am asked whether I want to replace the older folder or not which of course I do not.
what is the solution for that?
-
Reply 'Yes' and it should then merge the folders [does on PC... hope it does on MAC] - you need the new files in the folder - the existing ones should be retained...

Hi Tig.
When I open double click to open one of my SU files I am getting a Loading error from latticeMaker...
It does not happen if I just open Sketchup by itself - and I think it is only with this one specific file.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The error is telling me that on line 2 it finds an unexpected '('.
Thereafter all of the code is knacked as it's corrupted...
Because the first several lines are inside a=begin..=endcomment-block Ruby shouldn't even be reading line that at all - let alone give an error!Open the file in Notepad.exe [or equivalent plain-text editor] and see if it starts with =begin Copyright 2010 (c), TIG???
Have you edited/read the file in word-processor and saved it?
If so then that might have corrupted it.
Try re-downloading the files and replacing it with a virgin copy.
This is a weird error!

TIG, i really appreciate all your plugins.... THANK U!!!!!
can you or somebody upload a tutorial for this so that i could apply this to my school project???

hehe... THANK U i am looking forward to watch that video soon..
Thank u again TIG for giving us those plugins.....
hopefully someday all the fuction in 3dsmax would be available in sketchup...thank u again TIG.........

Is it possible to delete in one go the original linear path used for lattice making??

@arjunmax09 said:

Lattice Maker does NOT leave a linear path - it uses the selected mesh faces to make the 'panes' so the 'path' is consumed ?
EEbyRailsToLattice does leave the Profile and Rail Curves... BUT on completion asks if you want to delete them -on a Yes they go too ??
Please explain yourself differently...
-
TIG...I've uploaded images to clear my question
-
Ah! You mean 'coplanar' edges - not easy removed because of the inner face. Because the LatticeMaker is for 3D meshes to Lattices each 'pane' is made separately.
I suggest you get my 'Latticeizer' - that is intended for 2D forms and it does remove the original center-lines if specified. You draw the form and group it, then 'Latticeize' it - you should then get the results you want without center-lines... -

Bagatelo
I have replied in the other thread you linked to - I think perhaps you mean Latticeizer NOT LatticeMaker ?
-
I am sorry having traded the place where it I should respond.
Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.
-
Thank you, TIG for all you do.
Although you are in the UK, I still would like to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and to all you "Sketchers" out there. I lift my pint of (alcohol-free) nog to you, mates.
Peace

I am truly in love with this piece of code!

I need it, i want it.
Thank you

SOLVED
After more persistent searching of the forums, I have finally found the answer so please ignore my post below.
So simple..the rails and profiles must be identical to produce square "Holes" using Lattice Maker.
Sorry for not finding that before posting..Hello..I have searched the forums but cannot find a solution to my blundering attempts to create this:-
Using EEbyRails and following the instructions (also have tried every combination of those)and then Lattice Maker, the result i always get id this:-
No matter what I try, I cannot create the "Square" holes, only triangular ones.
If I remove the triangular lines prior to using Lattice Maker, the faces disappear making Lattice Maker not function.Any help would be greatly appreciated ..
Thanks..
